The Picture in Picture
(PIP) on VIZIO televisions works on multiple input sources. This means
you have to have signal or a device connected to more than one input on
the television and have both inputs selected to display the information
going to them. Here is an example. Let's say you have an HD cable box
connected to your television and you would like to have more than one
channel displayed on the screen in order to keep an eye on both football
games at the same time. With one device connected that's not going to
work out the way our TV functions. What you want to do is get
a coaxial splitter and two extra coaxial cables; these can be found
anywhere home theater equipment is sold. Then follow these steps.

1. Turn off both your cable box and television.

2. Take the coaxial cable that comes OUT from the wall and connects to the IN of your cable box and disconnect it.

3. Connect that cable to the IN on your coaxial splitter.

4.
Connect your two extra coaxial cables to the OUTs on your coaxial
splitter. We will call them cable 1 and Cable 2, just because.

5. Connect cable 1 directly to the DTV/TV input on your television.

6.
Connect Cable 2 directly to the IN on your cable box, this will be the
same connection you removed it from in step #2. Your HD cable box should
still be connected to your television with either an HDMI cable or
Component cables (Identified by their Green, Red, Blue colors for video
and Red and White cables for audio.)

7.
Power on both the cable box and your television. Using the INPUT button
on your VIZIO remote select the input connection where your cable box is
located your cable box picture should come up on the Main screen.

8.
Press the PIP button on your VIZIO remote to bring up the small box in
the corner. Press the PIP input button until you select the TV input and
you should be ready to go. You may need to perform a channel scan with
your TV tuner to locate all available channels before you do this step.
In order to understand better how to perform a channel scan please check
under the F.A.Q.s in the discussion area of your particular model
television.

In
order to change channels in the small screen use the PIP CH - and +
buttons located near the bottom of the remote. You can swap picture
in the Main and Sub screens using the swap button and swap which screen
will sound off its audio by using the AUDIO button. You might notice an
X next to some of the selections in the INPUT and PIP INPUT screens
when you have PIP activated. That means that input selection is
unavailable and cannot be used. For example, if you have the input TV
selected on your main screen then if you press the PIP INPUT button and
bring up that input menu you will see X's next to the TV and AV
selections. The X's mean that when you have TV on the main screen you
won't be able to use TV or AV on the small screen. Instead you would
need to use any of the input selections that do not have an X attached
to them.

Hi nikkicollier,
PiP for your TV works between two different sources. This means between a component source and an HDMI source or between an HDMI source and another HDMI source. PiP also works with a PC connection, e.g. when using the TV as a computer display. PiP does not work between two component sources. The setting will be grayed out when you don't have a configuration that is supported, as the Samsung TV's are usually able to automatically detect which sources are plugged in and available.
I'm not exactly sure what sort of configuration you want your PiP to work in, but try one of the following configurations.

You can usually find an HDMI cable for much cheaper at an electronics supplies shop, Radio Shack, or on eBay or Gumtree.To change your PiP settings:

Press the MENU button on the remote control. Select Picture and press Enter.

Select PIP and press Enter.

Press the enter button again, and press up or down to change the setting to On and press enter again.Note: If PIP is activated the screen will display in widescreen (16:9 aspect ratio.)

Press the up or down buttons to select the Source then press the Enter button.Select the source of the sub-picture by pressing the up and down arrows and then pressing the Enter button.Note: The sub-picture can serve different source selections based on the what the main source is set to.Note: You may notice that the picture in the PIP window becomes slightly unnatural when you use the main screen to view a game or karaoke.

If you are using Component Video for connection, this is an EASY fix. The component video cables were installed in the wrong order. Make sure the cables are connected to the right colors as it is very easy to mistakenly cross the Green and Blue cables. Using a flashlight will help so you can see them easier. Don't forget to check that the cables are in the right order on your accessories, too! Hope this helps.

Using a monitor1..connect computer/media center to your monitor,2 click on nvidia nview display settings, 3, select the current display tab and samsung,4 then apply, 5,then when the confirmation box appears click yes within 15 seconds.

Using your samsung.Attach a scart to your media centre, from your t.v with the p.c cable still attached, turn over using the source button until you can see a pc picture on your screen (EXT1or2), do steps 2 & 3 THEN move your cursor to the apply button (do not move the cursor from this position), press your source button till you get PC channel (which has no picture yet) then press your mouse button to apply, ( your picture will flicker on), and before the picture goes confirm with the yes button. You now have light! eureka :)

Samsung say;
The feature only works on the AV/PC channels and not on a single tuner (digital or analogue) and only if your AV source (Sky Box/Freeview/Dvd ect.) is connected to the TV by way of the RGB or HDMI connections.
Good Luck

My experience with an LE40R74BDX is that PIP is only available between the different input types of 1:- VGA, 2:- HDMI and 3:- everything else.
It is not available between any 2 items in the everything else category. So you must have at least one of the other input types in use (I use HBMI for my cable box).
Hope this reassures you, it's down to design not a fault.
